Neptune.ai
Metadata store for MLOps — experiment tracking and model registry.
About
Neptune.ai is a metadata store for MLOps built for teams that run a lot of experiments. It logs model-building metadata — metrics, hyperparameters, learning curves, training code and configs, predictions, hardware logs, dataset versions, and model binaries — into one central place, then offers experiment tracking (search, group, compare, visualize in real time) and a model registry for versioning models from development through deployment.
It integrates with PyTorch, TensorFlow/Keras, XGBoost, and the broader MLOps stack, with hosted, on-premises, or private-cloud deployment options. Pricing is proprietary/freemium (roughly $150–600/mo tiers per third-party listings). The honest caveat: it is a commercial product competing with open-source MLflow and W&B, so teams should weigh its per-seat economics against the free alternatives — its edge is the purpose-built metadata model and polish for experiment-heavy teams.
What it can do
- Central metadata store for all model-building metadata
- Experiment tracking with real-time visualization and comparison
- Model registry with versioning from dev to deployment
- Integrations for PyTorch, Keras, XGBoost, and more
- Hosted, on-premises, or private-cloud deployment
